Featured Students
INDS students are all over the place. As difficult as it is for us to feature just a few of them, they are making a difference on the campus and around the world. Be sure to check out our Featured Alumni as well.
Asif Majid - UMBC Class of 2013 Valedictorian
INDS is proud to announce that Asif Majid is UMBC's Class of 2013
Valedictorian! He is the first INDS student to be named valedictorian of a
graduating class! We hope you join us in celebrating his awesome achievement! A UMBC profile is available at http://www.umbc.edu/classof2013/.
Here is what the selection committee presented to Dr. Hrabowski:
Asif Majid is a wonderful example of UMBC's commitment to "produce socially engaged citizens who graduate with the commitment and experience to serve responsibly in their communities, state, and nation."
An interdisciplinary studies major in Global Peace Building and Conflict Management, Asif's ongoing inquiry into the nature of human conflict and his search for creative solutions have been a consistent driving force for him both in and out of the classroom. His search to understand and make a difference led him to such diverse experiences as: leading an international summer peace camp for Arab, American and Israeli teenagers in Maine, teaching history and script-writing to middle school students in Minneapolis, leading UMBC students on a an Alternative Spring Break trip focused on homelessness services in Baltimore City, participating in the Model UN Conference at Johns Hopkins, and a year-long study abroad in Morocco.
A gifted scholar, member of the Honor's College and a Sondheim Scholar, Asif is described by INDS faculty as the "ideal interdisciplinary student." His studies encompass a vast array of disciplines including Arabic, Anthropology, Modern Languages and Linguistics, Political Science, Geography and Environmental Systems, History, Sociology, and Music. He speaks Arabic and French and has knowledge of Gujarati, Urdu and Spanish. According to Dr. Michael Richards, Professor and Chair of the Department of Music, Asif is also a talented percussionist, whose ability to synthesize diverse information from a variety of disciplines, enables him to think about music on a deep level and develop carefully thought out musical interpretations and technical decisions. Asif's independent research, which has resulted in two Undergraduate Research Awards and a Boren National Security Scholarship, investigates how the performing arts can be used to facilitate empathy and transform conflict. His capstone projects focuses on transgenerational migration and identity in North Africa and will yield a scholarly paper as well as a Brechtian play confronting the social justice implications of issues related to migration, transnational identity, human rights, sexual harassment, and the Arab Spring, which will be performed at UMBC at URCAD and on May 12th.
In a recent interview, Asif commented,
"Though UMBC has afforded me many opportunities and given me support to be successful in many arenas, I would say that I am most humbled and honored to have achieved excellence within the Interdisciplinary Studies Department (INDS). Designing my own major, conducting independent research through my capstone and social justice theatre project, integrating a study abroad experience into my undergraduate career, and making history as the first valedictorian from INDS are simply my way of saying thank you to the exceptional department that has been my home for the past four years."

Interdisciplinary Studies Concentration: Biophysics
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects at least 170 million people worldwide, about 3.2 million of those cases residing in the U.S. There is not vaccine available, and the standard therapy is only effective for specific viral genotypes. Understanding how this virus functions requires the knowledge of several disciplines being integrated together; specifically the viewpoints of biology, chemistry, and physics. Using the interdisciplinary research process, these perspectives can be integrated together to form a new understanding of HCV. From biology, we learn about the virus structure and how it takes advantage of a cell for replication. From chemistry, the properties and interactions of the viral molecule can be studied. Using the techniques and foundational knowledge from physics, these molecules can be studied using computer models. Initial symptoms may include: fatigue, muscle aches, jaundice, fever, and loss of appetite; most people do not exhibit ANY symptoms until long term damage (cirrhosis, liver cancer) has been done.
One of the methods used to study the molecules necessary for viral replication is temperature-accelerated molecular dynamics (TAMD), which uses and elevated simulation temperature to explore changes in protein shape (conformation). TAMD was used in this to study NS5B, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase vital for HCV replication. A new understanding of conformational chances important for the function of the enzyme may lead to new possibilities for inhibiting the protein and finding new avenues of treatment.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
12 Monkeys, even if I agree that what you said above could be possible, it still comes back to "How did the concept of good (communal living) and evil (every man for himself) come into being?" The fact that we once lived in communities and now live in societies doesn't answer the question of where the concepts of good and evil come from.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Apparently, Alan Gordon didn't need a preseason to get his last-minute heroics in shape.
Gordon, the 32-year-old veteran who missed most of the San Jose Earthquakes' preparations over the last six weeks as he recovered from offseason foot surgery, put home a 94th-minute goal to give the Quakes a 1-1 tie against Mexican side Toluca in the teams' CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.
The goal, which came just seconds before the final whistle, electrified the home fans among a sellout crowd at Buck Shaw Stadium and kept alive the Quakes' hopes of advancing past top-seeded Toluca when the teams meet in the second leg next week.
Gordon's shocker negated a 67th-minute golazo from Toluca's Raul Nava, whose dipping shot off the full volley left Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch no chance and looked for much of the evening to be the difference-maker.
Gordon's header from Shea Salinas' free kick wide on the right wing took one bounce before spinning away from diving Toluca goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera, ricocheting off the far post and landing in the back of the net.
The Earthquakes dominated much of the play for the 40 minutes preceding Nava's shocking strike, but could not break through until Gordon's last-second heroics.
San Jose captain Chris Wondolowski, the club's leading all-time scorer, was stopped twice at close range early in the second half by Talavera. The Mexican 'keeper then came up with a huge stop in the 55th minute to deny Wondolowski's one-timed strike of a well-placed, lengthy cross from Cordell Cato. Wondolowski had another chance in the 61st minute when Steven Lenhart flicked on a header from Brandon Barklage's throw-in, but his shot went straight at the 'keeper, who finished with five saves.
San Jose saw three opportunities denied in the 79th minute, when Lenhart crashed a header off the crossbar, JJ Koval's rebound attempt was blocked by defender Edgar Dueñas and Talavera saved a final shot by Gordon.
The Earthquakes were similarly stymied in the 34th minute when Salinas' corner kick was met with a strong header by Lenhart, only to see a Toluca defender block it on the goal line. Talavera scooped up the rebound while San Jose's pleas for a handball on the block were ignored by Costa Rican referee Walter Quesada.
Before heading to Mexico, San Jose will first be back at home on Saturday evening when they host Real Salt Lake in their MLS regular season opener.

BETHEL — Authorities say the owner of a western Maine tree cutting company has died in a wood chipper accident.
Police say 60-year-old Sam Chapman of Bethel was cleaning the interior of a chipper on Sunday morning when a three-foot long, crescent-shaped metal shield came off and punctured his chest.
Police say he was lending the chipper to two people and was showing them how to operate and clean it.
Oxford County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Hart Daley tells the Sun Journal that Chapman remained conscious and alert in the moments after the accident but died before a medical helicopter could fly him to a hospital.
Chapman owned Chapman's Tree Services and was also an avid golfer and a popular local songwriter and musician who often performed in the area.

Lady Comanches defeat Paducah to remain undefeated in District action
The West Texas Lady Comanches volleyball team is on a roll. They took down the Lady Dragons from Paducah in three 25-17, 25-13, and 25-18, to remain a perfect 5-0 in District play. They maintained control in the first two sets, even though they briefly trailed in the first. The second was all WT as they led all the way through. They trailed most of the third, once by as much as six points, but tied the score at 11, 12, 13, and 14, before they fell behind again. After tying the score at 17, they took control and won it.The girls did an outstanding job of controlling every aspect of the game when they had to. Their net play is impressive with Cheyenne Tull, Sarah Kelley, and Natalie Franklin. The hustle exhibited "digging the ball off the floor" is impressive. The team just hustles at every position.Tull led the team in Kills with twelve. Kelly got nine and Franklin had seven. The girls also did a great job at the net blocking some strong hits by the Lady Dragons. Tull came up with ten blocks, Kelly had five, and so did Devin Delapp. The Summers sisters Abby and Erin had stellar performances as setters. Abby led with fifteen and Erin had ten. One of the key reasons for their success is the hustle by the girls keeping the ball off the floor. Bekah Wallace led the team in Digs with twenty-five. Alyssa Snider came up with twenty and Rachel Wallace got thirteen. The Summers girls are also tough to return a serve against. Abby had three Aces and Erin had two. Kelly also served three aces.The Lady Tribe started the second half of District play with this game, and their next game is Saturday in Ft. Elliott.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Citrus Olive Cous Cous
- Jenny
I am a well documented hater of side dishes. I can't defend this really. I mean everyone wants a little of this or that with their beef or chicken, even in the form of a steamed green thing. And yet I deprive my family almost nightly, giving them plates with unsightly bald spots where a mound of rice or bits of broccoli should be, because I can never plan dinner beyond protein and dessert.
Add this to the SORRY! list, right up there with forgetting to wash the volleyball uniforms ("It doesn't smell that bad. No seriously!") and failing to turn in the lottery application for the school play.
But when company comes, I feel a bit more obliged. So the other night, in looking for a side dish for my salmon for eight, I stumbled upon Citrus Olive Cous Cous. The first thing I have to tell you is that cous cous is a little divisive in my marriage, because my husband prefers the smaller traditional semolina, whereas I am a big fan of the pearl-sized guys, even though I believe them to be less traditional. (Paging Paula Wolfert!) When he starts cooking, he gets to pick.
So! I doubled this recipe, and my main advice to you about it is to keep stirring occasionally. That is really all you need to know. Brown the cous cous a little, but not too much. Watch, and stir. Add the orange juice, bring to a boil and then cover as instructed, but again, do turn it a bit now and then or it is going to stick. That's just the way it is.
While that is cooking, go ahead and cut up your olives. Get good ones, of course, because they are the central flavor in the dish. What I did next is add those olives, as well as the onions, and let them simmer a bit together rather than use it all as a dressing.
I don't garnish, so there were no rings. But it would have looked prettier with them.
This dish is the perfect example of what happens when you take something a little sweet, something a little tangy, put it on a willing and pliant carbohydrate and go to town with little effort. I can't wait to make it again. Even for my poor suffering side-less family.

President's Day weekend seemed to be a turning point for gasoline prices, which look to be increasing faster than a speeding bullet. If the trend continues, analysts say, we may see $5 a gallon and beyond. That will put into play some of the measures that made the gas price run-up of 2008 (in June, gas reached $4.62 a gallon) so painful: taxi cab and shuttle service fuel surcharges, hotel energy surcharges and ever higher air fares. Ouch.
It may even cross your mind to scuttle your driving vacation. But think about some things you can do to cope with this latest blow to your wallet:
Do the math to put the price in perspective. Let's say you're driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco, which is about 385 miles. If your vehicle gets 27 mpg and you're paying $4.32 a gallon for regular gas (that was the price early last week in Los Angeles, according to AAA), your one-way trip will cost you just more than $61. A year ago, it would have cost you a little more than $52. You'll pay about 6 cents a gallon more in San Francisco for the fuel home, but your out-of-pocket increase is still only about $20 more than it would have been a year ago.
Focus on finding savings in the bigger expenses. It's generally not the cost of a gallon of gas. If you're on a weeklong vacation and you're not staying with Aunt Hilda and Uncle Fudd, you'll be shelling out some money for a place to stay. In 2010, the most recent data available from the American Hotel & Lodging Assn., the average room rate was $98.07. For a six-night stay, that's going to be more than $600 by the time you add taxes. Look for ways to reduce your per-night lodging cost. Although Priceline's bidding for rooms has its drawbacks (it's generally nonrefundable), I've scored major deals using it with help from BiddingForTravel.com, the "here's-how-to-do-even-better" site.
Find compensations for the increased expense. Anne Banas, executive editor of SmarterTravel.com, thinks hotels may bring back the gas-card incentive. When fuel went up four years ago, many hotels offered customers a gas card or some compensation to help ease the pain. But, Banas said, make sure you do the math to ensure you're really getting a deal. Look, too, for extras that hotels will include that save you money. On a recent Arizona trip, I stayed at places that included breakfast — and it was more than a stale Danish. These hot-cooked breakfasts easily saved hubby and me about $20 by the time tax was added, never mind the convenience (and gas savings) of having to walk only a few yards to the lobby.
Consider buying gas with a cash-back card. The Discover card, which usually offers 1% back, is offering 5% back through the end of March. (This also applies to movies and museums.) If you're paying $4.32 a gallon for gas, using the cash-back feature brings that down to about $4.11. The card is expected to run the offer again from July through September at the height of the summer vacation driving season, said Dana Traci, vice president of rewards at Discover. Info: http://www.discover.com
Don't drive. As you consider a vacation, think about cities or places that are public transportation friendly. For that matter, take the train. Amtrak is offering a deal for college-bound students who want to check out campuses (http://www.lat.ms/yPLrDj. Such cities as Santa Barbara (http://www.santabarbaraca.com and San Luis Obispo (www.slocarfree.org) also tout their car-free friendliness.
Take a day off from your days off. In the gas-price run-up of 2008 "there was more of a cutting back on days and distance," said Jeffrey Spring, a Southern California Auto Club spokesman. "We didn't see the wholesale abandonment of vacations." Coming home a day earlier? Not a bad way to start your re-entry program.
Get the best mileage you can. After the L.A. Times Travel Show, I was given about six dozen mini-shopping bags that feature the Travel section. A month later, most of them are still in the car's trunk. Meanwhile, my mileage has decreased about 3 mpg (my hybrid makes it easy — some would say almost mandatory — to watch). Along with making sure our cars are in good working order, the standard advice includes working to dejunk the trunk, and that's what I'm going to do, with your help. I'll send one of the bags to the first 50 or so people who email email@example.com with the words GAS BAG in the subject line and a complete name and address in the body. My mileage goes up, and you get a small reward for making it to the end of this column.

Repairs to collision sub to cost another $21.6 million
General Dynamics, Electric Boat Corp., Groton, Conn., is being awarded a $21,600,000 modification to previously awarded delivery order N00024-08-G-6321 for off-hull fabrication of the port retractable bow plane, and material procurement and off-hull fabrication of the sail for the nuclear submarine USS Hartford (SSN 768). Work will be performed in Groton, Conn., (30 percent) and Quonset Point, R.I., (70 percent), and is expected to be completed by January 2010. Contract funds in the amount of $21,600,000 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington Navy Yard, D.C., is the contracting activity.
The Hartford was damaged in a collision with the USS New Orleans (LPD 18) in the Strait of Hormuz on March 19.
Prior to the modification announced today, the contract for the repairs to the submarine was a $15,800,000 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract (see earlier report).

UBC professor shaped Canadian hockey in 1960s
Forget about hippies, the Beatles, and student riots: the 1960s were a unique period for Canadian hockey. The amateur national team program was launched in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1963 under the supervision of the legendary Father David Bauer. And working hand-in-hand with him as GM and assistant coach was Dr. Robert Hindmarch, as the team secured a fourth-place finish at the 1964 Olympics at Innsbruck. A similar template would be used for the Canadian teams that competed at the 1965 (fourth), 1966 (bronze), 1967 (bronze), and 1969 (fourth) IIHF World Championships, as well as the 1968 (bronze) Olympics, although Hindmarch's involvement concluded after the 1964-65 season.Dr. Hindmarch also coached the UBC team for 12 seasons, and worked extensively to develop amateur hockey across Canada. The Nanaimo native, who is a Professor Emeritus at the School of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia (UBC), was inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame as a builder this year. IIHF.com's Lucas Aykroyd caught up with him recently in the host city for the 2010 Olympics to discuss his legacy and philosophy.How do you feel when you see how far Hockey Canada has come today, compared to the old days when you had two separate, competing bodies in the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) and Hockey Canada?I was right in the middle of that. There was a great dispute over the years going on about how to best to administer hockey in this country. But there's no ifs, ands, or maybes today: it has improved dramatically. And one of the people who made that happen was [Hockey Canada executive director] Bob Nicholson. Put him together with [current IIHF Council Vice-President] Murray Costello, and you have two of the best. They had a vision of what they should be. The first thing you recognize is that in any sport, the international element starts to take precedence over time. And you have to make sure you do not forget that. Take a look at what just happened in the World Baseball Classic, with the Americans going down in defeat. The next time, the United States is not going to want to lose. Well, that's exactly what happened with Canada. We weren't winning in the 1960s, and of course, everything was stacked against us, but that's neither here nor there. They're on the right track now, and they're developing hockey the way it should be developed.What's an example that comes to mind?I was saying to Bob earlier, we were very involved in bringing helmets in. People said: "Oh, no, people won't wear them." I said: "Well, kids will have to wear them." And then it was, "Don't think the National Hockey League players will ever wear them!" I said, "When those kids grow up, they'll wear them. They'll be used to wearing them as part of their outfit." Same thing with face masks and mouthguards. And eventually, likewise, there won't be fighting anymore in the National Hockey League. You sometimes hear, "Well, fighting's part of the game." Well, then why don't we start teaching the nine- and 10-year-olds how to fight, because it's "part of the game"? Then they'll say: "Oh no, not for kids." What does that mean? You said it's "part of the game." It's garbage. 10 percent of the players cause 90 percent of the fights. Did you see Wayne Gretzky start a fight, or Mario Lemieux? The greatest players don't fight. It's crazy. Now when we go to an international tournament and there's no fighting, everyone says: "What great hockey!" But there's no fighting. There are discussions about taking it out now, so we're on the right track. The NHL has to get a little wiser about where it fits in. But they've got a lot of businessmen with their own agendas as well.Let's talk about Father Bauer. One of the great stories about him is the time at the 1964 Olympics when he was cut by a broken stick that Sweden's Carl Oberg tossed into the Canadian bench, but yet he refused to let his players go beat the guy up.Yes. Not only that, but Father Bauer said: "It was an accident. The guy didn't throw the stick at me." The kid said something, and he said: "It's OK." The next day, at the Czechoslovakia-Soviet Union game, Father Bauer and Oberg sat in the stands together. Avery Brundage, the IOC president, gave Father Bauer a medal of good sportsmanship, and he also sent me one. That situation could have exploded into a terrible scene, but Father Bauer said: "What's the point? We're here to play hockey. We're here to have some fun." I'm a Protestant, and he was a Catholic. We used to joke about how we had an ecumenical coaching staff. The big thing was that he really believed in how he did things. The purpose of the game was to have a great competition, but play within the rules and care about other people. No matter who it was, if someone got hurt, he would be over there to make sure they were OK. He was an amazing man, and one of the finest people I've had the pleasure of knowing. I worked with him about 10 or 15 years, and my son played hockey for him at the 1980 Olympics, when Father Bauer managed the Canadian team. Anyone who ever played for him would say the same thing. He made people better.With the national team, you became aware of Russian hockey earlier than most Canadians did. In your opinion, how good were the Russians in the 1960's compared to the team that played Canada in the 1972 Summit Series?I think they were at their peak from about 1963 into the early 1970s. But as you said, people over here didn't know them or their methods. I became friends with Anatoli Tarasov, the great Russian coach, and he would come over and put on coaching clinics and so on.What's one of your favourite memories?Anatoli always wanted to coach in the National Hockey League. He said to me: "Anatoli coach National Hockey League!" I said: "Anatoli, what I'm thinking is: they don't need coaches in the NHL. They want players." And he said: "I bring players!" Of course, no one believed he could get them out in the Soviet days. He didn't care which team he got to coach as long as he got to bring along his Russian players.How about things that happened in international competition?One time we were talking about Carl Brewer, who played on the national team at one of the World Championships. Everyone was saying how great Carl Brewer was as a defenceman. Anatoli Tarasov said to me: "Later in the game, we will be better against him." I said: "What does that mean?" He said: "Carl Brewer, in the National Hockey League, skated five kilometres a game." I said: "How do you know that?" He said: "We used to measure him. What we will do when we play Carl Brewer is give him the puck all the time in the first period. By the time, he's gotten to six or seven kilometres, we'll be beating him." Think about it. This is when I became chairman of the Hockey Development Council in order to start bringing in the scientific aspects of what we knew about sport: coaching, training, and so on. The Russians had great institutes doing those kinds of things. One of the first guys who was really into it on this side of the Atlantic was Lloyd Percival, from Toronto. But everyone dismissed him. If you read Lloyd Percival's book, he had a lot of good sound information. But people didn't understand back then about aerobic training: "Oh, we'll just get out there and get in shape by playing." Well, the Russians didn't do that.When you played the Russians, they always regarded your goalie, Seth Martin, as a great difference-maker.In our game against them at the 1964 Olympics, the Russians beat us 3-2. We'd lost to the Czechs, we'd beaten the Swedes, and frankly, we should have had the bronze medal, but that's another matter. Anyway, the Russians were almost afraid of Seth. They ran him at the beginning of the third period. We were winning 2-1 at that time, and he got knocked out of the game. So Ken Broderick had to go in. Kenny played brilliantly, but the Russians knew he wasn't Seth. They scored two goals in the third period and won.What are your views on the state of international hockey nowadays?
Hockey internationally is a lot better today. In 1973, I took the University of British Columbia (UBC) hockey team to China, and we were there for a month. We put on coaching clinics and everything else. Most of the people there who participated were from up in the North, where the White Russians came in and so on. But now I see how so many countries are getting better step by step. Some move up, some fall off the table, but it's competitive. You know, Yugoslavia used to have a fine hockey program before the country broke up.Looking ahead to 2010, what are your thoughts about the new Thunderbird Arena at UBC that will serve as the primary women's and secondary men's Olympic hockey venue?It's a beautiful facility. There are 7,500 seats, and not a bad one in the place. Even the small rink next to it has great ice. There'll be more events and things that take place there than you can believe. We are very proud of it.LUCAS AYKROYD

Harriet Tubman is Biracial in Vampire Film Abe Lincoln! Shame On You Timur Bekmambetov & Tim Burton!
The Movie Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter seems to be causing an uproar in Black America. The film casted a Bi-Racial Woman named Jacqueline Fleming who was born to a White Danish Mother & An African American Father to portray Harriet Tubman an African-American abolitionist leader who led many enslaved people to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman was a very Dark Skinned African American Woman, with very strong Native African Features.
Egyptian-Sudanese-American Bestselling novelist, poet and Television Writer, KOLA BOOF has a few choice words for Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton! You guys have some HEAVY explaining to do! See the Open Letter Kola Boof write to Heavy Movie Hitters Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov below.
Dear America, Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov,
The depiction of Harriet Tubman as biracial in a new Hollywood film ranks as the most hurtful denunciation of Blackness yet. In a nation that claims itself 'multi-cultural' and that everyone is part of a rainbow humanity-why are we constantly bombarded with the erasure of Authentically Black images? Why does Harriet Tubman, a dark Black woman whose grandmother identified her as an Ashanti from Ghana, West Africa have to look European in order for Westerners to acknowledge, celebrate and value her?
Why specifically are academics and critical thinkers, Black and White alike, unable to see the blatant Colorism in music videos, magazines and countless films that seek to portray Africa as a continent peopled by light skinned Biracial women? How is it that intelligent people claiming there's only one race-the 'human race'-consistently paint the darkest people as motherless invisible un-people? How do they fail to see the blatant visual distortion as millions of African teenagers take up skin-bleaching and other forms of neurotic self-hatred to become the Whitened images that Western media routinely presents in place of Authentic Black ones? And how do you claim to love and revere the Black African male image (as Western sexism profoundly fetishes Black maleness) while at the same time erasing the dark womb that produces him? How do you save a man without saving the womb that he came from?
As an African woman, these media images remind me all too much of the various slave trades that have afflicted our continent. Non-Black people, mixed raced people and self-hating Black people are in charge once again of controlling our image and do so based on color-when a Black person does something horribly bad (O.J. Simpson); that person is 'darkened' several shades in media images. When they do something glamorous and cosmopolitan (Beyonce)-their image is lightened so as to give whiteness the credit. If a Black man is presented as a romantic image, then they must pair him with a very light skinned image in order to assure that he will eventually be bred into a more a palatable color, one that matches their 'one love' preaching racist eye.
I myself am technically biracial. The daughter of a White Arab Egyptian and a Blue Black Oromo woman, I was adopted by Black Americans and have lived off and on for thirty years in America. I speak seven languages and have authored ten books in eight countries and have lived in eleven other nations. Though like most North African biracial people, I am Black with African nappy hair, I am consistently told that Cleopatra (who had an African parent) could only look like Elizabeth Taylor and Angelina Jolie because she was biracial. Americans don't take into account that biracial people in Africa are much darker than the ones in the United States. When arguing Cleopatra was half Greek, they ignore how dark the Greeks were thousands of years ago. It horrifies America that Cleopatra probably looked more like Kola Boof, Jill Scott or Waris Darie than like Claudette Colbert.
The recent monument in Washington D.C. of Martin Luther King depicts him as somewhat Asian-looking (it was sculpted by a Chinese artist). So now we have countless Black teens visiting the statue and coming back to report the lie that King was part Chinese. No one sees the problem in this-innocent Black children believing that Martin Luther King and now Harriet Tubman weren't really Black people; thus credit for their humanitarian achievements belonging to other groups.
My current boycott of the film "Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter" (wherein Tubman is played by a Half-Dutch actress) caused its White filmmakers to counter that their film is a comedy satire and that Thor and Tonto have been played by Black actors in recent films. But Harriet Tubman is not a fictional character like Thor and Tonto. Tubman is a Historical iconic symbol of the Black race's liberation and self-identification; their break with enslavement and control by outsiders. To me you really have to hate Harriet Tubman to erase her true image and make her a light skinned biracial woman. That depiction, no matter how you attempt to dismiss or downplay it, says everything about White Supremacy and the erasure of Blackness.
In my latest novel, "The Sexy Part of the Bible"-I wrote about a beautiful charcoal-colored African woman who feels betrayed that her image in a Hollywood film is portrayed by a very Mixed-looking actress. Some American readers said I was being 'sensitive', but right after the novel was published, biracial actress Thandie Newton was cast by a British company as an Igbo Nigerian tribeswoman for a major upcoming film. Many Nigerian women's groups both in the West and Nigeria formed a letter-writing campaign to protest such disrespectful inaccuracies. But as usual, we were told by a nice White lady calling us "sister" that it doesn't matter if White-looking women consistently represent the image of Black Women. We were told by the White lady calling us "sister"…that African women's actual blackness doesn't need representation and that we were 'racist' for not wanting a White-looking woman to play an Igbo tribeswoman.
I reject such hypocrisy and hatred against my beautiful dark skin. I reject the recent film "Red Tails" where Black American women were completely cut out of their own history-the leading lady was Caucasian and not a single black actress appeared in the film. I reject Black American academics who claim "Africa is the most racially diverse continent"-no, dear Over-seer, Africa is the most invaded, conquered place with outsiders taking up our space. We in Africa are overwhelmingly Dark skinned and nappy. Arabs and Berbers are not Black people-so stop the lies Black American Professors. And I reject America's lies about promoting a rainbow human race. America is for the whitening and erasure of other people; not the inclusion. When I tell these truths, Americans call me 'bitter and angry' to try and silence me. But there is no bitterness or anger in me. Like most intelligent Black women, I spend ninety percent of my day laughing and what I have said here is actual and factual. Your great society is as hypocritical and White supremacist as ever and a growing number of us are able to dismantle the beauty that hides your faces.
Black is beautiful, too.
Kola Boof
Wonderfully said Kola! You are talking about issues that no one seems to want to discuss in the Major News. If there is a Pink Elephant in the News, ignoring it, is not going to make it go away!
Clearly there is something going on here! Where is even the slight resemblance? To bluntly dis-respect Harriet Tubman who made Positive History for the Freedom of African Americans, where she's not properly depicted is just over-kill at this point. You mean to tell me you guys could not find a Black/Brown Actress to portray Harriet Tubman?
Even when Halle Berry Portrayed Dorothy Dandrige they got an actress that fit the description!
Beyonce Played Etta James, an actress that fit the description was brought in or at least close to it.

A driver's license is a much-anticipated landmark for teenagers yearning for freedom. But, with freedom comes responsibility, and the parents of newly minted teen drivers may need to take on their share. What do you need to know when your teen is on the brink of automotive liberty? Here are a few things to think about:
There's no getting around it: Driving can be dangerous, especially for teenagers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car accidents result in the injury of hundreds of thousands of teenagers each year in the U.S.—and the risk is highest during the first few months after a teen gets a drivers license.
Speeding, inexperience, distractions and impaired driving are some of the major causes of accidents among teenage drivers. However, even if your son or daughter is responsible and level-headed, new drivers are often so concerned with driving correctly, that they won't be ready to react to the mistakes that other motorists make on the road. As a result, it's essential that your son or daughter gets supervised driving experience, which will help him or her acquire the skills needed to become a competent driver. Many states have Graduated Driver Licensing laws, which allow teen drivers to gain experience while they gradually gain full driving privileges.
When you consider these dangers, it's no wonder that a driver's license can give concerned parents pause, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Teenage drivers generally show dramatic improvement within their first 1,000 miles or first year of driving, and they continue to improve for the next 4,000 miles after that. You just need to take steps to ensure that you're setting your son or daughter up for success when they get behind the wheel.
Follow your instincts as a parent. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of your teenager driving alone, once the GDL laws permit it, or you think that he needs more practice, then don't let him drive by himself. Start off by practicing in quiet areas that don't get much traffic, and when the weather is good. As your teen becomes more skilled, you can start introducing him to different traffic conditions and roadways, as well as nighttime driving and different types of weather. New teen drivers are generally safest when they have adult supervision, and they're the most at-risk when they're alone during their first six months behind the wheel. With driving practice, and by setting guidelines, you can help your teen become an excellent driver.
Even if you're confident in your child's abilities, it's important to realize that teens will sometimes drive differently without parental supervision. As a result, it's a good idea to set some ground rules with new drivers. Consider guidelines that will minimize distractions, and ones that will help inexperienced drivers avoid risky conditions, for example. If he or she is unable to follow some basic rules for safety, there should be consequences, such as a loss of driving privileges. The Allstate Foundation offers a downloadable Your Teen Is Getting a Driver's License: Now What? that can help you and your teen set and discuss rules and consequences.
In addition to helping teach your teen to drive and setting up rules and consequences, you may also want to talk to your teenager about avoiding some dangerous behaviors, like driving under the influence and distracted driving. Educate your teen on how to drive defensively, and on the importance of controlling road rage or other dangerous emotions behind the wheel.
One of the best ways to help your teen hone his driving skills is by being a good, responsible driver yourself. Don't exhibit road rage, be courteous to other drivers and avoid distracted driving. Set an example by showing your teen how good driving behavior helps keep everyone on the road safe. Educating a new driver is also a great opportunity for both of you to review your state's traffic laws, which should help both of you become better drivers.
When you drive with quality coverage, you drive with peace of mind. Allstate auto insurance can help you stay protected for wherever the road takes you.
Whether you're teen is heading out in the family station wagon or in his or her own ride, make sure that the car is in good driving condition, and stock it with gear that could come in handy during an emergency. A cellphone is also an asset in emergencies, but make sure your teenager knows to park somewhere safe before making a call.
Another important factor to consider is car insurance. As soon as your teen gets a learners permit, talk to your insurance agent about your coverage options to make sure your family—and your vehicle—are protected.
Ultimately, your actions will help set the standard for your teen as a new driver. Practice and driving guidelines, as well as open and honest discussion, will help keep your new driver safe on the road.

A reader points out this AP article, which notes that an Indian national named Ansari, who was captured earlier this year, may be linked to the Mumbai terror attacks:
Ansari, an Indian national, was arrested in February in north India carrying hand-drawn sketches of hotels, the train terminal and other sites that were later attacked in Mumbai, Amitabh Yash, director of the Special Task Force of the Uttar Pradesh police, said Thursday. …
Indian authorities already face a torrent of criticism about missed warnings and botched intelligence. Linking an Indian national to the plot also undermines India's assertion that Pakistani "elements" were solely responsible.
Then there's this:
Meanwhile, police officers said they were trying to get as much detail as possible from Kasab.
"A terrorist of this sort is never cooperative. We have to extract information," said Deven Bharti, the head of the Mumbai crime branch.
Indian police are known to use interrogation methods that would be regarded as torture in the West. Bharti provided no details on interrogation techniques, but said "truth serum" would probably be used next week. He did not specify what drug would be used.
Our reader comments:
here's what struck me about it…apart from the highly amusing bits about interrogation in India!..do tell!
No word yet on how India plans to regain its standing in the world.
They've identified this guy involved in planning the attack….and guess what?…he's an "Indian national". Whew!…sigh of relief!…that means it's not JUST the Pakis!!!…there was ONE GUY who was Indian, too!…as if that matters a whit, since he was recrutired by the Pakis…..
But what's missing here?….right!…careful attention to AVOIDING any indication of his religious identity!…Maybe it's just me…but I would think that whether the guy is a MUSLIM or not is all important, wouldn't you?…After all, India is the 3rd largest muslim country in the world,,,with over 140 million….
But these MSM shills are so careful to avoid answering or even asking the obvious question because it would undermine the whole sly attempt to create misdirection away from radical Islamism to…what?…it must be incredibly upsetting for the MSM to confront the idea that Muslims may be a fifth column in ANY country..or at the very least permit or harbor radical Islamists among their communities.
It's more of the "willful blindness" discussed in the post immediately below.

There's a word you'll hear thrown around a lot in this first month of 2013… 'NEW'. Phrases like "Happy NEW year, NEW for 2013, a NEW season" abound.
For years, savvy product pros have known our tendency to drift towards products that display the words "New and Improved"- often times making extremely minor, insignificant changes to a product, slapping the 'new and improved' sticker on the front of the box, and standing back to watch the American public (you and I) flock to buy it up in droves, all the while smiling to themselves because they know that the product is essentially the same as it was last month.
We can't help it, we just like things that are new… it's the idea of the unknown, the untested, or the fact that our newer widget has features and a design that are different (and hopefully better) than our neighbors widget.
In Lamentations, God's word says,
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
There's that word… new. What a promise from Him that every day his compassions (mercy, grace, love) are new- with facets, and features that you've never experienced!
Remember when we were kids, and during a game or activity if things weren't going quite right, we could declare a 'do over'? It was like a free pass to stop the action, and to give yourself one more attempt to get it right? Have you ever wished for a 'do over' clause in life? A chance to repeat a whole day, with different thoughts, attitudes, words, and actions? According to the verse above, God's grants us that every day! He loves you enough to not hold yesterday's mistakes against you today… and to let you declare a 'do over' any day you need one. And while we can't always remove the consequences of our actions, we can find His grace, mercy and forgiveness as brand new every day.
Happy New Year!

Growth Energy, a coalition of 61 ethanol production plant members and about 17,000 ethanol supporters, has proposed an eventual phasing out of federal support for ethanol in return for investments in infrastructure that will give consumers the freedom to choose their fuel.
In a teleconference this week, Tom Buis, CEO, Growth Energy, said that in almost every visit that he and others make on Capitol Hill, they get the question, "How long are we going to have to rely on government subsidies [for ethanol]?"
"We no longer have a problem in producing ethanol. In fact, we are overproducing more than the government regulations will allow us to do. Our challenge is the infrastructure barriers that prevent us from competing in an open marketplace. Oil has a 90 percent monopoly. We need to break the monopoly," Buis said.
Growth Energy's Fueling Freedom Plan calls for the redirection and eventual phase out of government support. It proposes mandatory flex fuel vehicle production and tax incentives for retail fueling stations to install blender pumps.
Buis said that automakers have said they would build more flex fuel vehicles if there were more retailing stations to provide more ethanol blends. At the same time, retailers say they need more flex fuel vehicles to justify the investment in installing the hardware for blender pumps.
"With this plan we say 'the buck stops here.' We can eventually get to a position without government assistance," Buis said, adding that government support for building out infrastructure in the U.S. has a long and rich tradition, citing railroads, canals, highways, water systems, electricity and more.
"We think building out the infrastructure to reduce our dependence on foreign oil is long overdue," Buis said. Infrastructure improvements that will allow consumers to choose their fuel is "a great investment for America and Americ an taxpayers," Buis said.
The Fueling Freedom Plan proposes that funds currently going to the oil industry as an incentive for blending ethanol into gasoline would be redirected to provide backing for tax credits to retailers for installing blender pumps and ethanol pipelines.
It also proposes that all automobiles sold in the U.S. be flex fuel vehicles. Growth Energy says this would require no additional cost to taxpayers and a minimal cost (about $120 per vehicle) to vehicle manufacturers.

Wandering through the market looking for something new and interesting one day, I was immediately captivated by a game called 'Soccer Multiplayer.' The developers took a real gamble not actually naming the game and won. Soccer. Multiplayer. It's a game. Jackpot! I like all three of those things, and with it being free and only 513kb I couldn't pass it up.
The actual game is easy to learn, but hard to master. It has a local mode for taking turns on your phone playing against friends, and also an online multiplayer option. The game play is just like paper soccer only digital, and it's a ten minute battle to the first score. The outcome of the game immediately reflects in your record and ranking, helping keep the competitive drive alive.
Another plus for the game is the chat and friend features. While playing you can open chats and befriend those you've competed against. The game developer has also mentioned that the ability to search for friends is an update being worked on.
For all the positive that can be said for this game's simple, direct execution, it also can leave you wanting more. Soccer Multiplayer is sorely missing any sounds or music and is truly underwhelming graphically. While it was kind of the developers to give you the option of customizing your colors and field, it just isn't enough to convince me that the developers were concerned with anything besides the game being compact and functional.
The Goods
- Chat option is always great to have
- Being able to save friends is awesome
- Small file size and quick game play
Needs Improvement
- Group chat outside of games would be greatest
- Single player mode so you can practice on your owners
- Music or sounds listening to the vibrations gets annoying
Final Verdict
This game is addictive and doesn't tax your phone's memory. It brings back fond memories of paper football, paper soccer, dots, and tic-tac-toe. Soccer Multiplayer is definitely worth a download.

Anyone have any good marketing strategies, specifically how all of you have structured your pricing and packages? I'm curious if there is a kind of industry consensus, or if it really varies.....I'm leaning towards doing it a certain way - but wanted to start the discussion so I can get some feedback on if it makes sense to those of you who have been doing this a while. Thx...
Views: 1128
Thanks for the response Paul.....interesting thoughts. I was hoping more would share how they've structured their packages or priced their services. I'm just starting my business and trying to do all of it myself, so I thought some specific examples would be helpful.....
Patrick - that gives me hope since distributing a simple flyer is what I plan to do for the time being. I see Paul's point about not doing it "too cheap" - which could hinder a prospective customer from appreciating the true value inherent in our services......but I think that as a fresh start up company - I need to appeal to the clients pocketbook, at least for now. Especially in this economy here in the heart of the Midwest, where the majority of people are already very sensible and budget conscious. Maybe after doing this for a year I can raise my prices - but in order to compete with the other 'energy auditors' in my area who have been established for awhile, I'll need to entice potential buyers with a killer deal. Also to help distinguish myself, I am marketing Ecologika as not only an energy auditing company, but one who focuses on the health and safety of the occupants and the home itself. That's why I plan to offer cursory identification of mold, radon, asbestos and lead - (and lab testing for the mold and radon) but WILL NOT be doing any remediation of these items.
I guess at the end of the day, one factor that determines what we charge comes down to how much we need to bring in to make ends meet (within reason - ie; not so cheap that it tarnishes our credibility or expertise). This sounds like this is a fine line to balance.
To answer your question Patrick, I am in the process of rethinking my package structure, but here are the services I offer (up to 3000SF as Paul mentions) :
FYI - basic building envelope analysis (insulation, condensation, etc) utility bill assessment and the blower door test and IR scanning are included in both of the following......
Comfort & Efficiency Package - $250 (CAZ diagnostics: +$50)
Only exclusions are duct, draft testing & CAZ. Includes all the basic energy assessment / diagnostics
Health & Safety Package - $350
Excludes duct testing, but includes all the basics, plus draft and CAZ testing, CO and combustible gas leak detection, initial mold and radon identification and lab testing, asbestos and lead identification if present or suspected
I am eventually going to offer duct work testing, but want to get some additional training first
We need to keep in mind that a big key to all of this is that I may have to adapt and adjust my pricing / packages offered based on the feedback I receive from customers - as I'm sure most of you already know. I may find that in the interest of customer commitment, a different combination of my services works better than others.
Well, thanks everyone for the feedback and for furthering the discussion!
I was taught that the first thing to consider is Health and Safety. This leads me to wonder why you would not include the CAZ testing on every package. Call me cynical, but I have no intentions of providing income opportunities to ambulance chasers; not to mention the basic "first, do no harm" aspect of life.
CAZ testing may be a yawner in terms of sellability, until that homeowner sees that you caught a dangerous situation.
As far as getting the word out and creating contacts, have you considered doing work for Habitat for Humanity? It is something I plan to look into as it may offer the chance to build relationships with contractors.
Good point to consider Bruce.....I agree health and safety are priority. I've done some work with Habitat for Humanity in the past and may look into it again - not only for networking opportunities, but just because it's a good cause. Thanks all.....
Not all home are equiped with combustion appliances.
by all means homes equiped with combustion appliances must be tested and priced acordingly.
http://alagbs.com/energy-efficiency-audits that has three of our packages & the pricing associated with them (I need to do some cleanup as we used to have four). I also know a few around here that will do it for X cents per SF with a minimum charge
Marketing is an all together different beast & rarely is pricing on it - in many cases the only time pricing is involved is if you offer a special rate for the month of July lets say. (Just remember it isn't a special price if the offer is ongoing or it is your regular price)
Word of mouth is your best marketing, but having door hangers or a brochure is a good start & something that can be handed out or left with others to hand out
Hi Joshua,
Good topic for discussion. I have encountered several flavors of audit packages out there:
In general, I think packages can be a powerful way to present your pricing info. Any time you can simplify the sales process, the higher conversion rates you'll have.

Point Park Hosts Junior Achievement Titan Business Challenge competition Thursday, June 6, 2013
More than 90 high school students representing a dozen high schools participated in the Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania's Titan Business Challenge Grand Championship held at Point Park University on May 15.
Winning first place in the competition, in which students gain points by managing virtual companies and making effective business decisions, was the team of Jacob Scoccimerra, Joe Cippel and Aaron Shaner from Ford City High School in Armstrong County. Another team from Ford City earned third place honors, second place and fourth place awards went to teams from Richland High School, and a team from Rocky Grove High School took fifth place. Prizes for the top winners included Point Park scholarship awards. The JA Titan Business Challenge event was sponsored by Point Park, FedEx Ground and First Niagara Bank.
In his opening remarks Dennis Gilfoyle, president and CEO of JA of Western Pennsylvania, said, "the Titan Business Challenge has grown to become a truly global competition. This is our region's version of the Stanley Cup championship."
"We're very excited to be a sponsor of Junior Achievement's Titan Business Challenge," said Jim Thomas, associate vice president of academic and student affairs.
"Here at Point Park, we love competition! Students in each of our four schools participate in competitions at the local, regional and national level, and the same is true of our student athletes. We encourage you to spend some time today exploring our vibrant campus right here in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh. We hope you'll compete well, do your best and enjoy the day."
The JA Titan program teaches high school students how to make critical business decisions as they run their own company in an interactive online simulation. Students are challenged to increase sales and profits, react to their competition, try new business strategies and respond to changing market conditions.
Senior Simon Knapp of Shade-Central City High School, who has participated in three JA Titan Business Challenge events, said that the competition provides first-hand experience in the challenges of operating a successful business.
"I really enjoyed the Titan Challenge and I had a great time at Point Park," he said.
Tessa Corle and Jordan Henderson, both seniors at Tyrone High School, agreed. "It's a great competition and I have learned a lot about business," said Corle, who plans to major in accounting in college. "Everyone we've met has been really nice," said Henderson. "It's been a good experience and I enjoyed seeing Point Park."
Each participant received a copy of The Missing Semester by author Gene Natali Jr. The book covers the importance of making good financial choices.
In addition to Ford City, Richland, Rocky Grove, Shade-Central and Tyrone, other participating high schools included: Montour H.S., Saegertown H.S., Union H.S., Clarion Area H.S., Greensburg Salem H.S. and Somerset H.S.

InTheVip presents Tori Black in video Bouncing booties
Rating: 2.66
Voodoo was one lucky guy because he was surrounded by some real horny girls. He was like a kid in a candy store. There was so much pussy just not enough time. The girls eased their clothes off as Voodoo took Tori for a ride of her life. He made her eyes roll in the back of her head as she felt his huge cock fill up her tight little pussy. I do not think her legs could spread any further apart. One girl wanted some cock, but she just got a couple of fingers while Voodoo fucked Tori. Tori wanted to taste his load and got what she wanted. She gulped it down like it was her last meal.

Want to change the look of your room without spending a ton of money? Why not choose an accent chair to change the decor of your room? Accent chairs can add great style to your home when the right ones are chosen. Here are some great tips to remember when choosing accent chairs for your home.
Another thing to consider when choosing accent chairs for your home is choosing the right type of material for your accent chair. You need your chair to be great to look at but you also want it to be functional in its designated room as well as comfortable. If you are choosing an accent chair for a very formal room, you may want to choose an elegant straight back wooded chair where great attention to detail has been placed in the chairs carving. If you need a chair thats functional but also flexible microfiber may be a good material to choose.
